Can Barrett-Jackson and Mecum and all the other car auction houses just disappear forever? Seriously, this killing me to try and shop for an antique truck that's only worth like $1000 max, and having shitlords try to sell it for $4500. JUST GIMME THE drat TRUCK.

Just fell asleep in a lawn chair while grilling hamburgers. I hate being sick. But drat that felt good. My normal routine, sadly, is get home at 430 ish and then just sit in front of the TV, feeling angry at myself. But for the last three weeks I've started just immediately doing something when I come home, even if its just sitting in silence on the patio and thinking about absolutely nothing. It's amazing how much better I feel mentally because of that. Adibiatic can be harsh sometimes, and I loathe religion/spiritual poo poo...but the whole mindfulness thing really does help. It's helped my mental state, and also makes my marriage better.

Just pretend I posted that rear end in a top hat "dealer" I posted a few weeks ago again. gently caress every single one of those guys that "KNOW WHAT [THEY] GOT."

Part of what makes life enjoyable is coming back from the lows, if you don't know what bad is like are you really going to enjoy poo poo when it's good? gently caress yes I do. Soon as they get an opiate that doesn't destroy the body in the process, just install a timed injector in my brainstem and let me go about my day.

The 818 I helped my dad build is up for sale on BaT. The last 818 on BaT went for $26k but was a bit nicer (vinyl wrap, engine mods). Excited to see where this one lands.

Black implies white, self implies other, prickly implies gooey, Nihilism implies Existentialism. You can't have one, by definition, without the other. We're both talking about the same everything. You've just categorized one part of it as real and are ignoring the rest.

I saw one of those 818s the other day and was like "the gently caress is that thing?" And then I heard it and knew.

Magnus Praeda posted:Just because some dipshits wrap it up in woo-woo hippy b.s. doesn't mean there isn't an actual physiological rationale behind it. All that matters is if it works for you. If it does, awesome. If not? Oh well. meatpimp posted:And that's where the difference is. I can be happy in situations not because of how hosed up the world is, but in spite of it. You can go the nihilism route, but there's something past that -- enjoyment. Yes, nothing matters, we're insignificant, nothing means anything... but when we can make moments we enjoy, with people we enjoy? loving revel in that, because it shouldn't be, either. This owns in so many ways.

I think the 818 is awesome, but would beat you into submission if you tried to DD it. For me, I kept staring at the non-structural windscreen and thinking "I better tuck my head in hard if this thing rolls."

So the new Civic in the US comes with a 1.5T? Still a little under-powered for my liking. My buddy with a 2002 Honda Civic AT with 238,XXX miles just traded it in for a 2014 today. It just had its 3rd tranny.

February has been quite the month for AI. Since we've spanned boss v. leader chat (without labeling it as such), work, and spirituality (well, kind of) I thought I'd share this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdzHgN7_Hs8 I think it's interesting at least, but I also listen to economics podcasts.

Mat_Drinks posted:February has been quite the month for AI. I love that Pink talk. I called GooberPeas about the Lotus I was looking at buying a few weeks back and we started talking about other stuff. He ended up recommending this book: http://www.amazon.com/Essentialism-...ds=essentialism Which was perfect for where I was - working 3 jobs for other people as well as a few 'jobs' (projects/whatever) for myself. It was perfect timing. If anyone's feeling overextended, I'd recommend they pick it up. I have a lot of problems I'm trying to figure out and I can sympathize with a lot of the other people on the forum who are not running on all cylinders (or rotors or whatever gets you off), but I'm surprised to see so many unhappy AIers trying the same poo poo over and over again expecting different results. Break whatever cycle is causing you misery. If you have insurance through work, chase down some counseling - it is worth its weight in gold once you find the right person, whether its a psychologist, addiction specialist, life coach, whatever. If you don't have insurance through work, check out free counseling resources in your area (most places have them), or try eliminating one bad habit a day - take a day off the internet, weed, booze, whatever. Drive a different route from home. Spend an hour out on a walk. Just do something loving different. Chances are, you are the only thing holding yourself back. Life is incredibly short. You can change how flexible you are, you can change your comfort zone, your tolerance for pain, withdrawal, poverty, income, personal growth, love life, whatever. You can change everything but how many hours you get in your drat life. I've wasted a lot of time trying to make my habits fit into my life, when I really should've looked long term at what life I wanted and chosen the habits I needed to support it. Don't make the same mistake I did. blk fucked around with this message at 08:37 on Feb 25, 2016 |

B -b-but the thing that's causing me misery is the endless bullshit of dealing with doctors and shrinks!  But seriously, I've got so many "lovely health professional experience" stories that I could write a worthless book that nobody would want to read, ever. In unrelated news it looks like we're maybe replacing that hosed v40 with this Mazda3S gt hatch or similar (so please nobody buy that one, I call 24 hour dibs). Everybody please tell me how great a decision this is because Mazdas are great and this car is going to be great. Really though, is there any good reason not to get into one? Mazda's not going bankrupt again or anything?

War, corporate greed, the environment being systematically hosed over, corruption, poverty, hatred, racism, the list goes on and on. Closest to home, we currently have our minister for the environment, who has supplied falsified measurement data on the environmental impact of farming and fertilizers etc. to the government, and is known to be deeply involved in various farming lobby organizations, but the prime minister has just re-affirmed his unwavering 100% trust in her ability to be completely objective. The whole government is composed of corrupt corporate pawns and racist bordeline nazi scumbags. And they got voted in, not in spite these facts, but because of them, as they have successfully convinced large parts of the population that brown people are inherently evil and are coming to take ARE JERBS and ARE WHITE WIMMEN.

Because they collectively make the world shittier for everyone, including me and everyone I care about. Being completely powerless to change any of it just makes it even more depressing. Meanwhile, a small handful of crazy-wealthy fuckers are just sitting at the top of the pile, looking down at everyone and laughing at the peasants bickering among themselves.
